The safety of our students and school staff is very important to us. One of the ways we stay safe is by holding school safety drills including evacuation, bus, early release and lockdown drills. Before we practice a drill, we teach students and staff what they need to do. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you,
Sara Centanni

Please note that School Picture Day will be held on Tuesday, September 9th, not September 10th as listed in the school calendar.
The change was made due to a scheduling conflict with the photographer. We apologize for any confusion and appreciate your understanding.
We’re looking forward to seeing everyone’s smiling faces on Tuesday, September 9th!
As we navigate through the first day of school, I’d like to share a few reminders about dismissal procedures to help keep everyone safe and ensure a smooth process:
Walkers will exit through the front doors near the bell.
Car riders should only be picked up in the car loop. Please do not park alongside the building to retrieve your child, as this creates unsafe walking and driving conditions. Heavy congestion on Ross Street also makes it difficult to navigate safely.
Bus riders will be released from the bus loop. Traffic will be stopped as buses exit the lot.
If you are picking up your child by car, please place your name plate in your window or on your dashboard so we can have your child ready.
Thank you for partnering with us to keep all of our students safe!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Centanni
